The Name’s a Joke. The Work Isn’t.

Here’s what sets us apart from every other roofer in the Nashville metro.

Owner-Operated Since 2011

You’ll meet the same owner who started this company 14 years ago—not a project manager passing messages. Second Best Roofing has been owner-operated through every job since day one.

Storm Damage & Insurance Specialists

We work directly with insurance adjusters so homeowners don’t have to navigate the claims process alone. From the initial inspection to the final sign-off, we handle the documentation.

No Subcontractors on Structural Work

We don’t hand structural work to outside crews. Every structural component is installed by our own team—the same crew you met on day one.

Licensed, Bonded & Insured in Tennessee

Fully licensed, bonded, and insured statewide. Your home and your liability are protected from the first nail to the final cleanup.

Over 2,000 Roofs Across Middle Tennessee

Since 2011 we’ve put roofs on over 2,000 homes and commercial buildings across the Nashville metro. That track record is why our clients send their neighbors to us.

Real Reviews from Middle Tennessee Homeowners

Owner-operated since 2011. Every review here is from a real project in the Nashville metro.

★★★★★

“Second Best Roofing replaced my entire roof after hail damage last spring. They handled everything with my insurance company and I didn’t have to make a single call. Crew was clean, fast, and professional. Roof looks incredible.”

Mark D.
Homeowner in Brentwood, TN
★★★★★

“I’ve had two other roofers ghost me after coming out for estimates. These guys showed up when they said they would, gave me a straight price, and had the job done in a day. Couldn’t ask for more.”

Jennifer R.
Homeowner in Franklin, TN
★★★★★

“Owner came out personally to walk me through what needed to be done and why. No upsell, no pressure. That kind of honesty is rare. Will be recommending them to everyone I know.”

Tom K.
Homeowner in Murfreesboro, TN
★★★★★

“Storm tore off a section of my roof on a Sunday night. Had a tarp on it by Monday morning and the full replacement done by Wednesday. Saved my house from serious water damage. These guys are the real deal.”

Andrea S.
Homeowner in Hendersonville, TN
★★★★★

“Commercial property, flat TPO roof that was a mess. They came in, documented everything, filed with our insurance, and the whole thing was covered. Professional from start to finish.”

Darren M.
Property Manager in Nashville, TN

Nashville’s Climate Is Harder on Roofs Than Most Homeowners Realize

Nashville receives approximately 47 inches of annual rainfall distributed across all four seasons—more than Seattle on a yearly basis. Combined with an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles per winter, those temperature swings expand and contract shingle seals, crack pipe boots, and loosen ridge caps faster than in drier markets like Phoenix or Las Vegas. Most roofs in the Nashville metro that fail early do so because of the combination of summer heat (average highs above 90°F in July) and winter freeze events that hit the same shingles repeatedly.

Second Best Roofing has been working in Nashville neighborhoods like East Nashville, Germantown, Green Hills, 12 South, Donelson, and Antioch since 2011. We’ve seen how homes in the Gulch hold up differently from ranch-style construction in Bellevue, and how the older housing stock in Madison and Inglewood has different decking conditions than new construction in the Nations. That local knowledge changes how we scope every job.

The address is 412 Fesslers Ln, Nashville, TN 37210. Call us at (615) 448-7720 or email jobs@secondbestroofing.com. We serve Nashville plus 9 surrounding Middle Tennessee communities.

Why Nashville Roofs Fail

  • 47” annual rainfall wears granules faster than drier markets
  • 33 freeze-thaw cycles per winter crack pipe boots and ridge caps
  • Summer UV index regularly above 10 in July–August
  • Hail season peaks April–June across Davidson, Williamson & Rutherford Counties
  • Older attic construction in pre-1990 Nashville homes often lacks proper ventilation

A Second Best Roofing inspection documents all of this—at no charge.
